FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for occasions requiring considered elegance, such as summer weddings, garden parties, race days, and graduation celebrations.

How should I style this dress?

It pairs well with strappy heeled sandals, understated gold jewelry, and a structured clutch bag. The goal is to let the dress and its print be the main focus.

What is the fabric of the dress?

The dress is crafted from viscose satin crepe, which provides a smooth, subtly lustrous finish.

How do I care for the satin crepe fabric?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The viscose satin crepe fabric has minimal inherent stretch. The fit relies on the cut and design, particularly the waist ruching.

What is the fit like?

The dress features a flattering silhouette with twisted ruching at the waist to provide definition. It has a sweeping maxi length with a front split for ease of movement.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger and allow it to air out for a day. If creases persist, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric, or iron on a very low heat with a pressing cloth, focusing on the reverse side.

Fabric snagged or pulled

For minor snags, try gently pulling the fabric taut from the back to coax the thread back into place. For more significant snags, professional alteration or repair may be necessary. Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories that could catch the fabric.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially during storage or when wearing outdoors. Follow care instructions precisely, as harsh washing or drying methods can contribute to color loss.
